The Circle of Loss, an interview about paying grief support forward with Marnina, Michal's Mom

  • Summary

  • Meet Marnina! Judith and Marnina have known each other for 15 years... but they didn't really know each other until they each lost a baby. Judith lost Aiden first, and when Marnina lost her daughter Michal the next year, Judith became a lifeline for her. This was incredibly meaningful for Judith, who had needed so much care and support from others over the previous year and finally got a chance to pay it forward. Now, Marnina is a few years out, and she channels the way Judith cared for her as she pays it forward to the newly bereaved in her community. The circle of loss is a devastating, beautiful thing. ::: This episode is sponsored in memory of Harper, on her second birthday. You can sponsor an episode of As Long As I'm Living ⁠here⁠. Harper's mom Erin wanted to shout out a few organizations that have been meaningful to her since Harper's loss: - @KindermournCLT: KinderMourn is an absolute lifesaver for families who have lost children. They have an annual Duck Race every year that celebrates all babies gone too soon. - @Madelynsfund: Madelyn's Fund supports NICU families in NC and SC. They paid our funeral costs when Harper died. - @SaylorsStory sends beautiful, meaningful comfort bags to Moms. - @MotherofWilde - creates the most beautiful prints. We have one hanging in our front foyer of our sweet girl. - @evolvehealthclt_supportgroup is a monthly group in Charlotte open to moms who have been through any type of loss. Dr. Sydney Fenton is a huge advocate here for the loss community and the group has brought some amazing moms together.
